May 25 — President Trump faced fierce pushback from his Republican colleagues over the weekend for his efforts to work out a deal with Iran, with multiple lawmakers warning the president is ready to give up too much. Foreign policy hawks, including GOP Sens. Lindsey Graham and Ted Cruz, spoke out publicly after media reports suggested U.S. negotiators were close to reaching an agreement. The reported deal would include concessions to Iran, extend the existing ceasefire, reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and pave the way for additional talks focused on dismantling Iran’s nuclear program. In response to the criticism, Trump said his critics were “criticizing without understanding the situation.”

May 25. Over the past 24 hours, the U.S.-Iran nuclear deal has shifted from a "framework agreement" to "not finalized," reigniting market uncertainty. Sources close to the negotiations indicate the core sticking point remains Iran’s nuclear program: Iran is seeking a verbal commitment while retaining its uranium stockpiles, while the U.S. is demanding concrete implementation details and a clear timeline for handling enriched uranium. Though most issues are seemingly resolvable, the two sides still hold significant gaps on fundamental terms. Intensified negotiation tensions, or even a return to broader geopolitical strains, are foreseeable in the coming days. On the market front, traditional investors remain bullish on the U.S.-Iran outlook. Crude oil opened sharply lower, while all three major U.S. stock index futures rose at the open: Nasdaq 100 futures up 1%, S&P 500 futures up 0.65%, and Dow Jones futures up 0.54%.

May 25 (Xinhua) — U.S. President Donald Trump said on the 24th that the U.S.-Iran agreement is “not yet fully finalized,” while lashing out at uninformed people for what he called “irrational criticism.” Taking to social media, Trump posted: “If I reach an agreement with Iran, it will be a good, proper deal.” Trump noted no one has seen or knows the full contents of the draft agreement, telling audiences not to listen to what he labeled “losers” who are attacking something they “don’t understand at all.” U.S. media reports add that some Americans have fiercely denounced the draft, claiming it goes against the Trump administration’s stated goals. White House officials told reporters the U.S. and Iran will take “several more days” before signing the agreement.

On May 25, U.S. media, citing a senior U.S. official, reported that Iran has made a serious, unprecedented concession on uranium enrichment. The official further stated that Iran’s Supreme Leader has approved the overall framework of the agreement. (FXStreet)
